We just published a first beta version of the Brightcove video module for Drupal. Feel free to download it from Drupal.org and test it out (Follow basic instructions in a README.txt file)! We are happy to hear any suggestions or bug reports. The best place to post them is the Drupal.org issue tracker.

Brightcove integration module version 6.x-1.0-beta2

Known issues

• Media Mover integration is missing.
• Autocomplete without browser is broken.

We recently published a screencast showing an early stage of our Brightcove integration module development and today it's time to give you an update of the exciting new stuff we've squeezed in since then. Check out our second screencast:

Here is a video that was originally made for showing to project stakeholders.

We're publishing it on our blog now so that the public can better see the stages the project went through.

This video shows the initial phases which included the creation of a cck field and browsing existing BrightCove Studio videos to populate the fields, with basic display functionality.

We are in the middle of our development cycle doing a Brightcove module for Drupal and we are currently discussing following issue: The module would be even cooler if it provides Imagecache support for thumbnails and still images coming from Brightcove Media API (still images are single frames from the video).

Our development of Brightcove module is steadily progressing and I thought it would be useful to explain a bit about our development processes. For version control we use Git on all of our internal projects, so for Brightcove we decided to utilize this same tool with just a small change - using github.com instead our own private repositories.

Why Git?

We were recently selected by Brightcove to make a module to easily integrate Brightcove video services into Drupal sites. Brightcove is a well known white label video hosting platform. While there are existing modules which currently allow for video content from their site to be embedded in Drupal, none of the current modules has the complete functionality that Brightcove wants its customers to have.
